actually if you have lived in Lagos for over 15 years consecutively, you can claim Lagos, you can't come from Owerri and spend just 10 years there and start claiming Lagos, no, it does not work like that. The same rule applies to the guy in Ogbomosho who by the way is much closer to Lagos since his ancestors conquered the land.

Lagos off course is in South western Nigeria, but Aworis and Eguns are the original inhabitants, the Yorubas conquered them just like how Bini king conquered Lagos before but later handed it back, Aworis and Egun as conquered people assimilated Yoruba culture even till date a Yoruba person cannot understand Awori language when they are speaking it, it just like Hausa and Fulani , an Hausa person don't hear Fulani the same for Hausa. Before the coming of white people Yorubas have already conquered the Aworis, Egun and ijaws at a time Lagos was a conquered territories of Benin kingdom.
Mr ignoramus revisionist. Calm down and read this.
The Awori are a tribe of the Yoruba people speaking a distinct dialect of the Yoruba language .
Traditionally, Awori are found in Ogun State and
Lagos State , Nigeria.[1][2] The Awori people migrated from Ile Ife and occupy present day Lagos state, with a considerable section of the Awori clan occupying areas within Ogun State as a direct fall out of the creation of Ogun State in 1976. Towns including Isheri, Ota, Igbesa, Ilobi, Tigbo are all Awori settlements within today's Ogun State in Nigeria. The settlement of the Awori clan preceded the establishment of Abeokuta as an Egba kingdom in 1832, as Isheri, the foremost Awori town within present day Ogun State was settled in the 15th century. [3] The Awori are direct descendants of Olofin, one of the sons of Oduduwa - the father of the yoruba nation. As such, in accordance with Yoruba custom, they brought their crown along with them from Ile Ife. Osolo, one of the sons of Prince Olofin, settled at the Osi quarters as his father and his brother journeyed further south from the place where the plate sank at Idumota. The first crowned Oba at Ota was Oba Akinsewa Ogbolu in 1621, he was the son of Osolo. [4]
Origin
Olofin and his followers left the palace of King
Oduduwa in Ile-Ife and migrated southward along a river. Oduduwa had given Olofin a mud
plate and instructed him to place it on the water and follow it until it sank into the river. The plate is said to have stopped at various locations and finally sank at Idumota in the present day Lagos State in Nigeria. As they were to settle wherever it sank, the people were filled with joy when this finally happened. The name AWORI, which translates as "The plate sank", became the name by which the clan is known till today.
Several days after leaving Ile-Ife, the plate suddenly stopped near Olokemeji near present-day Abeokuta. After seventeen days, it began moving again, only to stop at Oke-Ata for another seventeen days. At the end of seventeen days, the plate began moving again, only to stop again on the southern outskirts of present-day Abeokuta, where it stayed for another seventeen days. At this location, some of Olofin's followers decided to remain, led by a man named Osho Aro-bi-ologbo-egan. The plate continued downriver, stopping again at Isheri, where it remained for a much longer period of time. Olofin began instructing his followers to begin setting up a permanent settlement, but after 289 days (17 x 17) the plate began moving again. Olofin and a few followers followed the plate, while the rest of the group stayed behind. After two days the plate stopped briefly at Iddo in Lagos . At Idumota in central
Lagos , it whirled around in the water and sank to the bottom. When Olofin returned to his group at Iddo, they are said to have asked him where the plate was. He answered "Awo Ti Ri" meaning "The plate has sunk". This is how the name Awori is said to have come into being. [5]
The Aworis are thought to be a peace-loving, accommodating and friendly clan.


You come from wawa igbo to tell story your revisionist father told you. Just the way they have been lying to you about civil war.

My friend Nnamdi brought the 3rd mainland bridge from Nsukka. His blother Ofoma carried the Carter bridge Come from their "VIRRAGE" It is chinedu that carried Eko bridge come from Ariara. Emeka coupe built National theater and Teslim balogun stadium. High chief Ichie ozo cletus Otimkpu (importer exporter forwarder international) built Apapa port, he carry Tincan come from Aba. Emeka (aka meku Japan) bought all the land from those OWODA OMONILE and build all the house in VI and Ikoyi. Even Yuzedo know Igbo traders in balogun and trade fair have bought all the houses in Banana Iceland. All roads in Lagos is built by the igbos through igbo tax.

Lagos was only included in 2016 but it's not even a Yoruba land to begin with in the first place, and they can't take it from the benis.

Lagos is not part of Western Nigeria in the Nigerian constitution, Lagos is a former capital of Nigeria and developed by Nigeria money, no tribe in Nigeria has wright to claim Lagos as it own, lagos is owned by Nigerians who invested in it, it is a NO MAN LAND for all Nigerians been the former capital of Nigeria for decades. The only indigenous people in Lagos is the Aworis, Egun and Ijaw and rest are migrants. Abuja is been developed with Nigeria oil money now after former tribes living in it will come claim Abuja as their own and start threatening other Nigerians that have invested heavily in it to make it what is it to leave Abuja for them just like what some Yorubas is doing in Lagos. They want to reap where they did not sow.

You are crazy, Abuja is own by Enugu didnt your father told you that? Wereee
